Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active micelles are a type of fluorescent functional
materials that exhibit enhanced emissions in the aggregated surfactant state. They have …

Reverse micelles as nanosized aqueous droplets existing at certain compositions of water-
in-oil microemulsions are widely used today in the synthesis of many types of nanoparticles …

Precise control over the topology of plasmonic metal–semiconductor heteronanostructures
is essential for fully harnessing their plasmonic function and hence for designing innovative …

Uniform, well‐defined star‐shaped PbS nanocrystals with tunable sizes (40–100 nm, see
Figure), as well as octahedral PbS nanocrystals, have been readily synthesized in aqueous …

This perspective deals with the coupling of ionic and electronic transport in organic
electronic devices, focusing on electrolyte-gated transistors. These include electrolyte-gated …

Generally drugs can act on the level of different biological membranes as well as inside the
cells that are limited by membranes. Even in the latter situation, drugs must still interact with …

It has been shown by us in a recent communication that homopolymers, in which each
repeat unit contains a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic head group, are capable of forming …

The function of organic semiconducting and light-harvesting materials depends on the
organization of the individual molecular components. Our group has tackled the problem of …

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used drugs
in the world due to their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties …

Amphiphilic molecules self-assemble in solvents because of the differential solvation of the
hydrophilic and lipophilic functionalities. Small-molecule surfactants have long been known …
